By the mid-1920s, the Non-Cooperation Movement had given way to the constructive phase of the freedom struggle. As a result, the All-India Spinners’ Association was born in Patna, Bihar.
Founded in 1925 for spinners and weavers, the All-India Spinners’ Association, or Charkha Sangh, was an independent organisation set up in Patna to promote khadi and hand-spinning. Two of Bihar’s eminent leaders, Rajendra Prasad and Shri Lakshmi Narayan closely supervised this effort and helped make significant improvements in the production, quality, and sale of khaddar cloth. To Gandhi, such progress was the backbone of his swadeshi policy and needed to be encouraged irrespective of the broader political situation. Hence, following the Patna resolution, the All-India Spinners’ Association received Congress funds and the authorisation to administer them for their activities.
By 1926, just a year after its inauguration, the association had hundreds of carders, weavers, and spinners, as well as the province’s tailors and dyers, all of whom saw a substantial increase in earnings. Eventually, the All-India Spinners’ Association spread to many other parts of India and immensely contributed to rural constructivism throughout the independence movement.
